Is trauma care delivery truly universal? Quantifying the equity of health resource allocation and recovery trajectories for racialized and newcomer patients after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury
Project Overview
Understanding the relationship between racial marginalization and healthcare delivery to patients after traumatic brain injury may reveal inequities and highlight quality improvement opportunities. Importantly, this represents a critical priority area to ensure delivery of evidence-based treatments are equitably allocated to all Canadians, regardless of background. In this work, we aim to use population health data to study the relationship between racial marginalization and healthcare costs, post-injury outcomes, access to rehabilitation and functional recovery during rehabilitation for patients with traumatic brain injury. The implications of such findings may provide evidence for implementation initiatives to ensure adherence to equitable care provision standards.
